Jurassic Park Vineyard

2006 Santa Ynez Valley Chenin Blanc

Firestone Vineyard's Jurassic Park Vineyard Chenin Blanc from the 2006 vintage is a delightful expression of this versatile varietal, hailing from the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley. This white wine showcases a medium body that offers a refreshing counterpoint to its vibrant acidity, leading to a bright and mouthwatering sensation on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring enticing notes of ripe pear and crisp apple that dance harmoniously with subtle floral undertones. This wine is beautifully dry, revealing a clean finish that enhances its food-friendly appeal. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with light seafood dishes, this Chenin Blanc is a superb choice for any occasion.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
